exim issue

[Ken Dibble]

I know this isn't a cygwin only problem, but my research has failed to 
produce an
instance of this ever happening.

Common sense says it is just more likely to happen in a NT/XP 
environment with cygwin.

For reference, this is exim 4.32, downloaded last week.

In the exim 4.32 source (spool_in.c)
the following line causes an error condition if the user who 
instantiated the exim
process has a space in their name.

if (sscanf(CS big_buffer, "%s %ld %ld", originator, &uid, &gid) != 3)
  goto SPOOL_FORMAT_ERROR;

I'm sure a workaround is obvious, I just can't see it.

Thanks,
Ken
